by Cyndi Neumann
I appreciate any help with these plants growing in my yard. I have many native plants spreading around in my gardens which have not been cleaned up as you can see. There are leaves everywhere to remove and mulch. But, these sprouting vines and plants are unknown to me. I live in Western North Carolina and we are not to plant until early May for frost but It is just beautiful here today and has been 40's nights and 70-80s days. Thanks for any help given, you have helped me so much in the past. Smiles, Cyndi

    Photo's 3 & 4 look to me like wild strawberry plants. I have them out by the veggie garden & mine have yellow flowers too. 6 & 8 look like blackberry canes. The stems have thorns. #13, the one with compound leaves & tiny purple flowers is common vetch & the last is some sort of wild grass. Here is a helpful link with pictures of poison ivy in all 4 seasons to help you learn to spot & avoid it. http://www.poison-ivy.org/html/summer1.htm

      This plant is very toxic, causes blisters and spreads it's poison everywhere. Pets can accidentally roll in it and can spread it's poison to whoever touches them. If it's burned, the poison can get into lungs. Where gloves to remove it.
  • The flower you think is a daisy is Fleabane (eligeron)

    Photos 1 and 2 are honeysuckle. Beautiful blooms and wonderful fragrance but it spreads like wildfire. Roots run underground and will produce plants everywhere. I try to get rid of any at my place. Photos 3 and 4 are what we always called snake berries, mimic strawberries with small red fruits but they are poisonous. Traveling plants like strawberries, will take over any space. 6 & 8 are blackberries which may or may not have thorns. Also an underground spreader. Will sprout up all over.

      @Juergen Schrattenholzer Not Oregon Grape. OG has spiky leaves that resemble Holly leaves & after blooming develop clusters of purple berries. I live in the woods in Oregon & have it all over my property.

    This variety has 5 leaves. It also has some red tint to it. Toxic to touch, and burn.

    Thanks so very much for a lot your answers, It will help me a lot when I am cleaning up my yard, I better keep my Poison Ivy "Tecnu" Bottle close by as photo shows but a Pine tree cross in bottle

    SO many of these plants were spreaders, pull on center if can find it and it comes up for yards. Thanks again for so much information you all have provided me, and the links! You all are fabulous! Smiles, Cyndi

    photo 2 is a oak seedling, pull up and you will see an acorn attached to root.

    Photos 1 & 2 are Japanese honeysuckle (notice the paired leaves? All honeysuckles have this). This honeysuckle will take over the world if you let it. The seeding with the smooth leaves looks like a privet bush. It can grow tree size in just a few years. It is a prolific self-seeder so unless you have a lot of time to weed or want a privet forest, pull it now! The last picture looks a lot like Bermuda grass. It is VERY hard to get rid of because it spreads by seed, runners and deep roots.

    Virginia Creeper vs. Poison Ivy: growing 1 ft apart in my flowerbed (I just noticed the poison ivy this week). Virginia Creeper is not poisonous but poison ivy often gets mixed in with it. I have heard of someone who is allergic to Virginia Creeper but this is not common.
  • Ellen H Ellen H on Apr 29, 2014
    The next to last photo (with the purple flower) is vetch. It is in the legume family and is planted as a cover crop to fix nitrogen in the soil. It is not descireable in a flower bed as it reseeds prolifically and will take over the bed eventually. Pull it before it goes to seed.
  • Cyndi Neumann Cyndi Neumann on May 05, 2014
    Thanks again for ALL of your help in identifying these plants, I know what to pull and plant elsewhere and what to get rid of. I have found a lot of poison ivy sprouting up since these photos! I kind if know where I saw it last year and yes, it is back! I saw some " feverfew" soap at an arts and crafts show this weekend and you also can wash with it or grow some to rub on you for poison ivy. Thanks again for all of you help! I REALLY, REALLY Appreciate the information given! Smiles, Cyndi
